A new pocket park will be named after Wimberley hero Martha Knies after a unanimous vote from Wimberley city council and the parks department board.
Before Wimberley was a city there was Martha Knies, who began and continues her legacy by cleaning up parks in the Wimberley area. In 2000, when Wimberley was incorporated, Knies was on the first city council, and was responsible for the purchase of the Cypress Nature Creek Preserve.
She is now in her 80s. The Martha Knies park will be located on the trailhead near the preserve on Old Kyle Road.
